I'll be grabbing a red-eye Sunday night for snowy Western New York, to spend a couple weeks visiting with my mother, Pauline, and the rest of the family. But wait, that's not all! While I'm home, I'll be driving down to West Chester, PA, to the QVC Studios to train for a future appearance to help promote the cookbook I did for Parragon Publishing (read about that here, if you're not already in the know).

Before they let you on the largest home shopping network going, you have to do a day of training to learn all the finer points of shilling, telling people that operators are standing by, and how they can afford the book by breaking up the payments into smaller, more manageable installments.

If everything goes well, I'll be appearing on the wildly popular, In The Kitchen with David. I've never seen the show, but I found this video on fellow celebrity blogger, Hungry Girl's YouTube channel. Have a great weekend, stay tuned, and enjoy!

I know I've said this before but please thank your mom for sharing her Key Lime Pie recipe with us! I kid you not, I've made it over two dozen times and still get asked to bring it to get-togethers! My boss calls it, "to die for."

I used your link to Amazon - have you noticed that Amazon lists the book as being by "Parragon (corporate author)"? Do you think that Parragon is taking all the credit while giving you the only dust jacket? It also says that there are only 2 copies left.

I can't believe that I'm looking forward to a segment of QVC.

P.S.Have you noticed that if you shrink a picture of West Chester small enough, it looks like Rome or Athens?
